“The ‘Church of St. George’ in Lalibela, Ethiopia, was sculpted inside and out from the granite mountain. Around 900 years ago, King Lalibela built 11 churches which are among the most extraordinary architectural creations in the world. Each one is carved from granite mountains. Many of these churches are connected by tunnels and ravines,” says Dr. Jere Mammino.
